In deciding selection for redundancy various factors have to be taken into account.

These will/can include attendance, sickness level, performance and flexibility.

A company is also obliged to ensure it retains a sufficiently balanced workforce after the redundancies take place to enable it to continue trading, and to avoid having further waves of redundancies in the following months.

It depends upon what the criteria were for selection. Performance is a valid criterion. It doesn't really matter what the criteria were (as long as legal!) as long as they were applied and due process followed correctly.
